Boondocking closures in Arizona
Just a heads up to everyone that loves winter boondocking in Arizona. Almost all of the prime camping locations along the Salt River that have been beloved by boondockers for eons have been closed by Tonto National Forest.
At the same time, the US government has sold off 4 square miles of the Tonto National Forest to foreign copper mining companies who stand to make tens of billions of dollars (and create a few jobs...not many).
If this bothers you, I've outlined the situation in this blog post along with references so you know I'm not making this up plus an email address for the supervisor of the forest for expressing your thoughts (please be polite).
